Simple answer - you only need the ntl disk if you use USB as you have to load drivers for the USB

Re: USB or ETHERNET
Yep standard default XP settings should enable the ethernet connection to get an autoassigned IP from the modem

Re: USB or ETHERNET
If he wants to use the CD, there is no reason why he shouldn't. It just will personalise Internet Explorer to ntl, and maybe a few other minor things. It won't do any harm, it's just not essential.

Re: USB or ETHERNET
as jack points out, USB1.1 is SLOWER than 10mbit/sec so seems a bit silly to use it

Re: USB or ETHERNET
Sorry, I just joined as I have to take umbrage at some of the posts - there is FA wrong with a Skoda!!
I've got a vRS Octavia, sound as a pound and quick to boot.
You can't compare usb and ethernet using skoda, it's more like comparing Huwei (Skoda) with Cisco (Ferrari).
The name's crap but under the bonnet there's bugger all difference except the price tag
